The Jesus Moot Theory

[Sword of Christ]

There were plenty of miracle workers, exorcists, healers and religious preachers like Jesus wandering around at the time they were ten a penny. So there is no reason why the gospels can't have been based on a historical person. One point of interest is that Jesus didn't refer to himself as the Messiah even though the Christians writing the gospels would have been keen on him saying this as that's who they believed he was. So they were making an effort on maintaining the oral material they had as accurately as they were able rather than fabricating in everything they would have ideally liked. As to whether Jesus is the Word of God it's best to consider the fruits of his teachings and the way they impacted the world and society throughout history. A genuine revelation from God will change a great deal and change it for the better.
